Article on Procrastination

A friend on Facebook posted this link to a New Yorker article on procrastination. I found it to be a very insightful discussion.

I've mostly managed to make peace with my procrastination: I do other tasks during my procrastination time, and I schedule procrastination time into my semester. I also set deadlines with external consequences, which really get me moving.

At this moment, I'm procrastinating grading 4 papers. They won't take very long to do, but the longer I wait the more onerous the task seems.
